The Time You Have: Start Your Education Today!

By Shauna Lawrence January 23, 2020

Are you wondering what jellybeans have to do with taking advantage of life? It may not seem like much at first, but a popular YouTube video could convince you otherwise. As they say, the days may feel long, but the years seem short.

While we don’t always like to think about it too much, the truth is that life is short. And we often let our time slip by, focusing on our to-do lists and inboxes and things that we want to get done today. We forget about our big life goals, the dreams that we have for our futures.

As you prepare for a new year, consider skipping the standard “eat healthier” or “start exercising” resolutions and consider making the most of 2020 by getting started on the next chapter of your educational journey by getting your degree from Grantham University.

The day-to-day stuff

With an average of eight hours out of every day spent sleeping, we spend about a third of our lives getting some shuteye. And if you factor in another eight hours of most days at work, that accounts for almost another third of your adult life.

If you add up the additional time spent preparing and eating food, grooming, taking care of household tasks, caring for loved ones and pets and even watching television, you know that the amount of time available in that remaining third of your life can fill up pretty fast.

The time you have left

There are all kinds of ways you can spend your free time, and we all know that some can be more satisfying—and rewarding—than others.

However, continuing your education and pursuing an online degree can help you advance your career, as well as ensure that you’re better able to enjoy the time you spend working and learning as part of everyday life. In 2020, take the opportunity to tackle your educational goals and begin a new chapter in higher learning!
